Hi Tony, thanks for your detailed answer! I tried this in the Advanced Search box: *=[title[Program tips]] =[!is[system]sort[title]][tags[]!is[system]sort[title]]* and it seems to work! The "Program tips" tiddler now appears at the top as I wanted. I will try that with my other Tiddlywikis and see how that syntax goes.
